This is possibly one of the best written articles end-to-end I have read. Excellent job telling the story

Agreed it was well written, but kinda pointless though since they could have “solved” the problem using the existing tools in a couple lines of code without any new deps. All that content annd profiling and they missed the fact that they were using numpy wrong.

Totally out of curiosity, could you be a bit more concrete in your posted example? I can't get it to work (I'm inexperienced with numpy and I'm messing something when translating your quick example to python)

Thanks!

Yea sorry that was just pseudo code. You want it in this form:

    centers = np.array([
        [3, 3],
        [4, 4]
    ])
    point = np.array([3.5, 3.5])
    vals = centers - point
    np.linalg.norm(vals, axis=1)

I tried asking a simple how does ActionMailer work with the rails repository link and I'm receiving an error response.

At my last company, when we were building a greenfield application, we leveraged this pattern, at a time when GraphQL was not yet available. In my new company, I look at GraphQL and realize that this solves the BFF pattern in a standardized way

Awesome work on the launch!. I was wondering what the main difference between Nimbus and something like https://devspace.sh/ is?

Hey there! Ziyad from Loft here.

Nimbus is more like GitPod/Codespaces and not intrinsically linked to Kubernetes like DevSpace is. DevSpace is optimized for cloud native development and you could run it on top of Nimbus to connect your dev environment to a k8s cluster.

Hope that helps!

I was just typing up a response but can't be more succinct than this :)

+1 on "You could run DevSpace on top of Nimbus"

I sincerely didn't expect that from all the negative comments. At some point HN/reddit started confusing healthy skepticism and alternative views with being an... downright negative and rude.

I went through the exact same thing with Google. The interview was very impersonal, never going into if I'd be a great culture fit and it was simply on the basis of if I knew how to do this algorithms problem that doesn't show if I'm a good engineer or not. Ended up in a much better company culturally, and I've never looked back

This is amazing. Great way to illustrate. What software did you use?

I used to be a big supporter and user of Sublime, using it for my day to day. Unfortunately, even though it still has faster boot time than VSC, the community around VSC is so much richer that it becomes a case of too little too late.

Just want to say this is great. Poor execution on the demo. README is incomplete. A basic getting started would have sufficed in this case.
